Vinny Lecavalier score the Flyers first goal on the power play snapping a 1-for-25 streak on the man-advantage then added two more for his first hat trick in a Flyers uniform as the Flyers got their second consecutive win. They are looking for their first winning streak of the year.

Ducks - The Ducks are coming off of a wild win over the Blue Jackets on Sunday which saw Anaheim turn a 1-0 deficit after the first period into a 2-0 lead. The Ducks went up 3-2 in the third period when Artem Anisimov tied the game for Columbus. Former Hart Trophy winner Corey Perry beat Sergei Bobrovsky on a bizarre play with 2:25 remaining in the game to give the Ducks the 4-3 lead and eventually the win.
